Thanks a lot! Congratulations for software
Re: WINDOWS XP
If you need to boot from a Windows XP Professional CD, you will need to use the original XP CD that came with your computer, or the XP CD you purchased. The Windows XP CDs are bootable, so we don't offer them here.

Re: WINDOWS XP
BRILLIANT LOGIC.
My Original Disks are scratched, so half way through a REPAIR installation, the installer gives me "Unable to read file" errors... that's why I was looking for ISO images.
Maybe you'll reconsider your position on this answer. After all, it's not like the disks won't still need to be authenticated. I have my original certificate of Authenticity, just not a viable CD.
... It would be ashame to have to change your domain name to AllBootDisksExceptXP.com :-p
Re: WINDOWS XP
I originally started this site so I would have an online repository for my boot disks. I was a computer technician, and would never have a boot disk when I needed it, so I put them online. I created the ISO images, because most newer computers do not have a floppy drive installed. The ISOs can be used in place of the boot disks for whatever purpose you need.
I completely understand your argument but I'm not a lawyer, and I don't have the time to study the DMCA so I chose not to put these disks online. Overly cautious - perhaps, but I would prefer not to take down this site because of copywrite infringement.
If you need an XP CD, you're not going to find it here. There are plenty of other choices.
You can always get here via http://www.dosiso.com or http://www.msdosiso.com :)

Re: WINDOWS XP
I purchased my computer with XP Pro from my employer when they shut down the office. I understand I can't get a boot disc here. what information should I ask them for (provided I can get a hold of them) so I can get a boot disc? Certificate and Registration numbers? My system won't boot windows and a friend says I have a virus on that system so I need to boot up so I can run the virus scan.
thanks!~
Re: WINDOWS XP
Call Microsoft Technical Support and explain your current situation. Once they have authenticate that your the owner of the Win XP Pro CD, they can help you with it.
Maybe a small fee to re-send you another CD?
Re: WINDOWS XP
That is something I did not think of - I'm sure a lost/scratched CD is a fairly common support issue.

Re: WINDOWS XP
the windows xp cd is shipped for free to your house, it just wont came with a new license. so, if you lose your license it wont help but if you still have the serial number they wil send it for free.

Re: Order replacement CD from Microsoft
You could just get the new Windows version of Xp - Pirated Edition
or get linux its better and free. Oh and why are there no linux boot floppies here.!!:P
Re: Order replacement CD from Microsoft
RE: Linux boot diskettes: As I understand, based on reading books such as Red Hat Fedora Linux 3 (Wiley Publishing), the newer Linux distributions are too large to allow you to boot from a floppy. I'm not an expert, but I suspect that if you find an older Linux distro that allows the creation of a boot floppy, then you should be able to install THAT Linux, and then upgrade to the newest via the Internet. The newer distros require that you have at least a bootable CD-ROM, preferably a bootable DVD-ROM.
I am after a legal copy of WinXP myself-I bought my computer used from a repair shop. It has a validated XP installation and has the Microsoft product key sticker on the case, so I may be able to order a replacement disk set so I can reinstall XP. I hope not to buy a retail XP box but who knows?
Why would anyone be so crazy as to trust a pirated copy of XP? I agree, Linux is the prefered option vs. buying the full retail box of XP! (Only use XP if you have programs that don't have Linux equalivants.)
Re: Order replacement CD from Microsoft
There are linux distros out there that run on floppies, my favourite being blueflops (which runs on two)
see wikipedia for floppy linux distros
Re: Order replacement CD from Microsoft
Linux is better for most things, but not for gaming. I don't know how people running only OS X or a Linux based OS call themselves gamers.
I've got a PC that can dual boot Windows XP, W95, and Ubuntu.
All of the benefits of Linux (from Ubuntu), all of the latest games (XP), and all of my old games (95).
Re: GAMERS
"Linux is better for most things, but not for gaming. I don't know how people running only OS X or a Linux based OS call themselves gamers."
We don't. We use our machines to accomplish something called: "WORK".
Maybe you've heard of it.
On par, all of the gamers I've been forced to deal with have known the least about their systems, and have had the most problems in being compromised by viruses, worms and trojans. I know that there have to be a few exceptions to this observation of mine, but I have yet to meet one.
If you want some respect, don't self-identify as a freaking gamer, fer crissakes. Call yourself a Linux Admin, a Systems Analyst, a security consultant, and Open Source Programmer--anything but a Consumer Gamer.
BTW: You won't find our systems compromised, unless there's a verified idiot in charge of the root login.
Re: Order replacement CD from Microsoft
Linux mint 6 is a good substitute for windows it is based on ubuntu 8.0.1 with the added bonus of running most if not all hardware without extra drivers eg for motherboard, graphics cards etc. Y not give it a try. its worth it.
I myself am needing an iso immage of xp to set up a qemu boot from Linux mint. can i create one from my xp system or get one.
Re: Order replacement CD from Microsoft
Back in January 2003 I called Microsoft because my Windows XP Pro Upgrade (retail) CD failed to install because of scratches on it. They sent me a replacement CD. I did have to prove I had a retail copy by reading to them the Product Key for it.
Some notes on the replacement CD.
* I had to pay something like $25-$30 for it.
* It was not a retail CD. It had "Not for retail or OEM distribution" on it.
* It had its own Product Key on it.
Re: WINDOWS XP
My PC has a booting problem and it has no floppy drive. So I need an ISO CD image for Win XP.
Re: WINDOWS XP
Since you have a real M$ serial number, here's what you should do.
Go to www.demonoid.com or the piratesbay.org. Search for the OS iso you need and download it and burn to cd. Since you have the serial number, it's definitely NOT stealing and you won't need to go through the misery of having to translate one of M$'s Indian or Pakistani customer support's broken and unintelligible English.
Cheers!
Re: WINDOWS XP
Firstly, I suggest you take better care of your discs! Try taking your xp cd to a movie hire shop, they should have a scratch removing machine...as long as it's not too badly scratched, they should be able to help!
Re: WINDOWS XP
what the hey. slow down take a deep breath and remember he is asking for help so you need to readjust your attitude ok. would you appreciate someone posting a comment like this if you where asking for advice on computer matters.
Re: WINDOWS XP
If you are having problems copying files installing XP then you might have scratched the install CD, a dirty CD ROM or damage to the motherboard, hooking up a print can damage the motherboard if the computer power is not turned off.
Re: WINDOWS XP
Hi All
It seems I am a bit belated but maybe someone else will benefit
Scratched CD can be fixed by polishing them on a soft cloth with a bit of cleaning fluid used for cleaning silverware. The same as you would polish any perspex or clear plastic item It requires a flat surface and a good measure elbow grease but this really work. Do not take short cut and use your power drill You do not want to generate to much heat as it would damage the inner layer.
Live long and prosper
Re: WINDOWS XP
I'm with you man where can you find the frekin' iso!!!!!!!
Re: WINDOWS XP
Have you tried a video rental store to see, if they have a resurfacing machine???
It may cost you a couple of bucks to have this done...
Hope this helps many on this site...
Re: WINDOWS XP
Actually NOT ALL XP pro disks are bootable.
I have one of the first editions that were sold. They did not come as bootable. thus the need for the 6 floppies to install on a clean drive (which is something I almost always do when I redo my systems.. )
Your not really offering much for the OG xp users out there who want an alternative to the darn floppies.
I was out in search of one as I simply am tired of bad floppies and having to find floppies specifically for this purpose.. I'd much rather have a CD.. for all out there who are looking for a xp pro bootable cd they exist. When you get to the screen where you have an option to install you must then remove the bootable cd and insert your xp pro disk. Search google.
So there are needs for these things.....
Re: WINDOWS XP
As yet, even microsoft haven't released a cd version of their xp boot system....it's doubtfull they ever will.....In ME and earlier dos systems, one could create a bootable cd using a program such as nero express, all you needed was the bootable floppy disk to do it(hence, the iso for a bootable cd)! Unfortinately, the same process dosen't work in xp!
Re: WINDOWS XP
I have a download of the Windows XP ISO that you could use.
Just go here: http://filecyb.org/download/31418750
The file is seperated in 6 different .rar parts, and you have to use rapidshare to download it which can be a pain. But all you need is WinACE or WinRAR and just unzip Windows XP Home SP2.part 1.rar after download all six parts. It will unzip to 1 ISO file.
Re: WINDOWS XP
Actually u can download all floppy disks from the windows XP pro page on this site and put boot disk 1 in your drive and when its ready put #2 in and so on. Then put your cd in when #6 is done. Oh right, its scratched, I nearly forgot.
